Pat-
I noticed you have a registration sticker on your tube.  Can u elaborate on that?  Is a tube with motor (or any flotation platform for that matter) considered a "boat" therefore requiring registration?  Never thought about this, so the photo caught my attention.

Yep.  Utah is pretty set on making float tubes and other small watercraft as taxable as possible.  I suppose even an egg beater used to propel your float tube would make it fall under the rule that if it is motorized it requires registration.  Doesn't matter how expensive your tube and/or motor.  Still requires you to pay as if you had a big gas motor.  Pains me every year when I have to pay the equivalent of over 1/3 the value of my motor in registration fees.

Same situation with the invasive species certificates.  When it comes to complying with those rules "If it floats, it's a boat".

Amazing.  Coming from OK, it pained me for many years to pay a State Park entry fee at just about every lake in the state it seemed.  They definitely hit you for just about everything in this state!
